Dam, I missed a lot of stuff. Glad to see Rori somewhat back. Feel free to use my character. Though I am now Au'ra. No more cat. \o.o/

Not really back at all. I can't continue making Roripu, Roripu stuff unless the (or another) artist decides to support it as well.
I've tried to get it going again several times now but I think interest has just died in it. I'm sorry.

The only thing really happening is a completely different story that may or may not even happen. It really depends on the person I'm working with.

Well...I meant back on the forums. As for story, I pretty much assumed it was dead anyways. But, if you decided to do anything I like chara be somehow involved in it. Can be my xiv chara just doesn't have to be a xiv story.

If you ever want to message me you can PM me here, skype, kik, or email. Just PM me for the info.

Feel free to PM me your response as well if you're more comfortable with that.

How much would you be willing to pay the artist for say... 10 pages of writing and 10 pages of artwork in a light novel format for a major character role in Roripu chapters? The drawings would be black and white, higher quality than before, and fill a whole page. They would not share space with the writing, though they would be based upon it. These chapters would be publicly available to everyone and hosted here and likely, else where on the web (such as tumblr). You can look up Japanese Light Novels for some examples of the format.

Roripu would be a glue bringing one chapter together with another, but the star of the chapter and focus on artwork would be your character for that specific chapter.

It would be interesting, I can only go with experience from some other artist (Japanese) that I know and have commissioned before, but around $20 or so seems like a reasonable baseline, granted I did my conversion from yen correctly lol.

Is that $20 for 10 B&W full page drawings? or are we talking 1 drawing and 1 page of writing?

Don't bother, RoriPOOP is gonna steal all the wieners for herself and not leave any for anyone else.

Also is it purely on price per person for one chapter? Or will you break it up into smaller chunks/incentives. Like a small price for a single cameo in story or picture, or a larger price to appear/act more prominently, and in more of the story/pictures. Or how about having a say in what actually happens/submitting lines etc.

OMG SHUDDAP YOU GOBBIE CUM DUMPSTER!

Currently this is where we're at, with no set prices.

People who want a whole chapter written and drawn based on their characters with no Roripu influence would get a "Adventurers of Hydaelyn" chapter done for them. Again, with no tie to Roripu. This would be the most expensive option that I can imagine and unless they pay for multiple chapters, would be a one time deal sort of thing. The commissioner would have full control over the content and people involved in the story. If multiple people want a chapter then they can each pay a portion of this price, whatever it may be.

There is also an option to have people who want a similar chapter but have it take part within the Roripu story. Pricing would be similar but not as expensive due to the person requesting the commission giving up some control over the story. They can still, of course, decide the erotic content of the chapter and will be given first drafts to help make corrections to their characters personality.

Now there are some difficulties here that I have yet to address but let me be clear about one thing. If I use your character in a commission and decide for myself that your character become relevant in a following chapter, I'm not gonna hunt you down and make you pay for it. Recurring characters don't have fees, but if you want your character to have another major erotic role in the next chapter, then that will require commission as I won't force peoples characters into erotic situations without their approval.

There has also been interest in having single pages done. This would be a cheap option to have a single written page with an accompanying drawing.

All options are B&W.

There are other concerns mentioned like if multiple people want to star in a chapter together, this is fine. You can split the price however you want. I kind of doubt the fee will increase per person since these will always star multiple people regardless, but I'll have to speak with Gustaf about that first.

Is that $20 for 10 B&W full page drawings? or are we talking 1 drawing and 1 page of writing?

Yeah rechecked the conversion, was $20 for the commission of 1 b&w and writing (raw, so not a lot of detail or color) and depending on extra pages/chapters and detail she asked for $7 per extra, so I typically see them starting no less than $20.

So depends on what you'd naturally find fair, but I know just from experience a few artists tend to start around $20-30 for 1 raw page then add onto it depending on actual detail requested.

Thanks that helps.

Since we're just starting out and working primarily within NS I think it's fair to start at a lower base value for now.

Once we finish our current chapter and I make a new un-archived thread we'll probably have something decided upon.

Thanks for your thoughts everyone. It helped a lot.
